Hello
Thanks for your query.
Medical abortion is only to be conducted under medical supervision.
Without consulting a doctor, you have risks of undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy, severe bleeding, infection, incomplete abortion etc.
Right now, the ONLY sure way to confirm complete abortion is to have transvaginal ultrasound scan.
That would reveal empty uterine cavity if abortion is complete.
Please have that done
All the best.
